It’s a winter nature Friday here in Minnesnowta. The past two weeks nature has been good to us, bringing on the Arctic blast last week, and lots of fresh, fluffy snow this week. We are having a blast. Even on an early morning walk in the deep stuff, I have a good time.
HELP WANTED
Bailie and I have run into one issue now that we have lots of snow. We don’t have anyone to pull us around in our sled. Our yard is pretty flat, so if we sit on the sled, it goes nowhere super fast!
Five years ago in 2014, some of you may remember, Katie was the family sled dog. She pulled Emma and Bailie around the yard in the sled. Bailie was still a young pup at the time, but she remembers it well.
We have decided to hire a sled dog to help us out. We are putting this add online and hope to find a good boy. Of course, girls can pull sleds too, but Bailie and I are kind of into boys. We decided a handsome sled dog would be the best fit. Do you know of anyone?
As you can see, we are suited up and ready as soon as the prince of sledding arrives. If he needs to use a pulling harness, he will have to bring his own. Together we are only about seventy five pounds, so it should be an easy job for a real guy!
Winter Nature
In the meantime, I took some photos of nature in our yard in the winter. I’m calling these winter hydrangeas.
We sure could have used this look on the pine trees at Christmas time.
Our favorite winter nature site is the birch tree. Isn’t it fun how the snow is trapped in the peeling bark?
If you are wondering how we water things in the winter, we don’t. The hose is never hooked up to the spigot in the winter, and the whole thing is buried in snow anyway.
Now it is time to wait for a dreamy sled dog to come by and pull us in our sled. Until he arrives, I’ll be the lookout hound on top of this little hill, and maybe do some sledding too. PS: The lens was not dirty, it was snowing a lot when we took most of these photos.
Our friends at Living Laughing and Barking in Our Backyard is hosting a nature Friday blog hop for the winter. We are joining because we are showing off our winter nature here in Minnesnowta.
oh we would love to get that job…but the mama is afraid we all could land in a snowy drifted bank like in that dashing through da snow song… ;O)))
We would need someone with some good pulling experience then, maybe?
Yes, you do need a sled puller and that sure is one big bunch of snow! We’d be closed until July if we got that much snow!
We are loving it. The roads are a bit messy, but since we don’t drive, no problem for us pups.
Your snow is so beautiful and you girls are so cute sitting on your sled waiting for help. I will help. I’m a very strong girl!
Thank you. We really need to get this sled moving as soon as possible because it is boring just sitting here.
I’m sure you can find a handsome sled dog to help you out, as cute as you two are. Love the snowy shots.
It’s so pretty out today with the sun shining on all the fresh snow. Just love it.
HA!!! We loved this post. You look adorable on your sled. I hope you get lots of responses to your ad!!! Let us know who you hire ;). have a great day. your friend Lilly
Thank you. A sled is no fun when it is not moving, so I sure hope we find a good puller to help us out.
I am not sure I know what a sled is. I hope you find your handsome dude to pull you through that beautiful, wintery wonderland. Happy weekend! XOXO, Sparkle
See what you are missing in the southland? Fluffy snow is the best!
Bailie and Madison!!
OMDs you gals have had some serious S N O W. While here in Dixie Mother Nature has been teasing us with Spring temperatures…It was 80 yesterday. Way too hot for February. Old Man Winter returns tomorrow with a high of 48 …which is balmy compared to your temps during the Polar Vortex.
Katie was a beautiful sleigh dog….I bet there will be hundreds of handsome hunks applying to your want ad

We are hoping to find the right guy to do the job. Winter is our season, we love the cold, and especially lots of snow. Happy weekend!
All we get here in California is a little crunchy frost in the morning which perks me (Zachary) up. Benjamin prefers to stay inside until everything warms up. We sniffed a dog sized horse at the park a long while ago – maybe one of those could pull your sled?
Mom has heard of those mini horses. I think they can even live in the house. Sounds kind of weird. I think we would prefer a Clydesdale!
How fun. You two deserve to be pulled around so you don’t have to get your paws cold. Great shots.
Have a woof woof day and weekend. My best to your mom. ♥
Thank you. We enjoy running around too, but it would be fun to have some sleigh rides.
What a beautiful winter wonderland you have in Minnesnowta! Your two gals look so happy and cute and they definitely deserve a handsome furry young man to give them a tow. Enjoy the white powder and this city boy is truly jealous!
We do love our winter wonderland and it is ideal right now. Thank you for visiting us.
oh my those photos could NOT be any cuter! Love your sled! I think Dakota is a little too small for the job (he is only 24 lbs)…….you need a big bruiser dog to pull you!
Wow! He weighs less than I do. He looks so much bigger, like 40-50 lbs in the photos.
Luke wanted to apply for the job – I can attest to the fact that he can definitely pull! But I had to remind him how his paws bother him when it gets too cold, and he refuses to wear boots! You girls definitely need a real winter dog for that position!
A strong and winter loving dog. Sorry Luke. We would have love to have had you help us out.
I asked the boyz if they wanted to apply…they just gave me a funny look and went back to sleep. They sure are lazy!
I hope you find a good looking sled dog to help soon!
xoxo,
Rosy
They might be a bit small, and I don’t know if they would handle the cold very well.
If you are a snow loving hound, you are living the life!
We are, and so is Mom. We love winter here.
I hope someone pulls you around in the sled soon.
We do too.
I hope that you find your dreamy Prince of sled dogs!!!! You need it. Great photos!
Thank you. We need a good sled dog.
I want to volunteer! I’m a great puller and I love cold weather – except Mom and Dad said I would probably quit pulling and goof off too much and even though I am neutered, I still like girls better than squirrels. Come get me!!

You could pull us for a short time and then we could all play chase and wrestle together. That would be fun.
Was mommi taking pictures instead of pulling you? How did you get the sled on top of that big snow pile. You and Ballie look very cute sitting on the sled.
I just climbed up the pile and hopped in the sled. Mom isn’t much for pulling the sled which is why we need a sled dog.
Bet you’ll get some handsome sled dog applicants!
Strong and good looking please.
You know we would be up there to pull y’all around in a heartbeat but I think the snow would be over our heads! Our human sister lives near Seattle and they have a TON of snow. My grandpups are having a blast.
We’ve heard about the snow in Seattle. We went from a snow drought to getting more almost daily right now. It is great!
Such beautiful pictures of you all in the snow. We’re smiling from ear to ear. Maybe a handsome doggie sees you now and wants to pull your sled 😀 😸Pawkisses for a wonderful day🐾😽💞
We are hoping because the snow is so deep now we really need a pup to pull us.
